Lately, I have been getting MS ads that completely take over and the only way out is to Kill the page. Telling me I have a Virus and I can win an iPhone 8, or Galaxy S8 phone or whatever.
Click here and we help with Virus and put in for the drawing. SCAM
Anybody else this happening too.

It used to happened quite frequently when I visited the mlbtr website. I just reset the advertising identifier on my ipad and that seems to take care of the problem for a while. |

Most complicated phone I ever owned  it's saved me a lot of problems! Though to be honest, I wish it were possible to throw even that varmint into the nearest river. |

Those “win an iPad” ads are not being sent by this site, but are rather a bit of malware that is on your phone/iPad. However, I have been considering purchasing the monthly no-ad page views for the forum. It’ll remove ads for all users until we pass 50,000 page VIEWS in a month (resets each month). It’ll run me something like $6-$7 a month. I do not know if we ever eclipse 50,000 views in a month. |

You guys have Cell service in the Middle of the Jungle. In much of the jungle, unfortunately, yes. But there are still some pristine areas like this without a cell tower in sight:  |

I was talking with a pediatrician up there recently and he had spent some time in the big city (Saigon) and he remarked to me how the poorer, supposedly malnourished children back in the hills had much less incidence of ADHD, dyslexia, obesity, diabetes, homosexuality/transgenderism, juvenile delinquency, hormonal imbalance, and many other things. The lack of cell phone and internet access doesn't seem to be a totally negative thing.

I purchased the ad-free thingamabob. Each month, we will be ad-free until we have had 50,000 page views. Once we pass 50,000 views, ads will return until the reset at the end of the month.

But there are still some pristine areas like this without a cell tower in sight: I remember some of those beautiful sites. Even the scaring didn't do much damage as I would have thought. I was little further south than you are though we got up north sometimes. Really pretty, its really amazing how the earth can heal itself after such destruction. Do you know the area used to be called the Michelin Rubber Plantation if so how has that recovered. Saw some pretty big Cats roaming those areas. |

No. I think Pro Boards has done away with all of the intrusive ads. The only ads I have seen lately are just static image ads (or none at all). Are you having trouble with them? |
